I still don't understand what a striver is. Maybe this just isn't the thread for me.

It's a synonym of "wannabe."

Stuff like that really makes me appreciate influential people in technology field more. You get people like Sirgey Brin brazenly slumming it in sweats and crocs, The Woz who prides himself on being the Foursuare mayor of an Outback Steakhouse, and Zuckerberg who just gives zero fucks.

Not saying any of them are perfect; but I'd certainly enjoy their company more than any of those moms.

Ain't that the truth. And it is largely because the tech industry is so often meritocratic -- the complete opposite of the world these moms live in.

Are you guys joking with the "What's a striver?" posts?

It's a try-hard.

It's a try-hard.

Yeah, someone who can only strive to be like them.

The trolling from people from other messageboards is a bit distracting and I wanted to see something that was purely an urbanbaby topic.

"What's your household income and do you FEEL poor, middle class, upper middle class or rich where you live. No judging."

Not publicly I'm sure.
